Matthew Perry’s ex-partner appears to be challenging the ketamine death theory surrounding the FRIENDS star, revealing that Perry had a huge fear of needles and had vowed never to use them. This revelation contradicts the official cause of death, which states that he was injected with ketamine at least 21 times in his final week. The ex, who was friends with him until Perry’s death, also questions why no “drugs or paraphernalia” were found at the crime scene.

Matthew Perry’s ex reveals his fear of needles

“That’s the strange thing for me… Matthew always told me he would never use needles or inject anything into his body. He didn’t even want tattoos,” Kayti Edwards, 47, told the Mirror, days after five people were arrested in the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death, including his long-time assistant Kenneth Iwamasa.

“I would see him very high and on a lot of different drugs. I would always be so scared and tell him he had to stop mixing all that stuff and say, ‘You’re going to die,'” continued Edwards, who dated Perry in 2006 and worked as his assistant in 2011. “But he was like… ‘You only die if you use needles… and I would never, ever, ever do that,'” she added.

Matthew Perry’s ex-partner doubts ketamine death

As the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death continues, authorities have arrested several people. Among those arrested are two doctors, a drug dealer, Perry’s former assistant and another person who allegedly supplied Iwamasa with drugs before Perry’s death. Officials say Perry’s assistant is believed to have administered the fatal ketamine injection that caused the actor’s sad death. This news really surprised Perry’s ex-partner.

“When I heard he left it to his assistant, I just couldn’t understand it, especially since he had no medical training,” she added in her statement to the UK-based publication. Edwards and Perry remained friends despite their separation. The 47-year-old spoke openly about the investigation into the case.

Where has the evidence gone?

The TV star’s former assistant went even further and asked: “If you had given him a large injection, a needle and traces of ketamine would have been found in the house. Where did it all go? Why did the assistant inject him with all those drugs and then leave?”

Previously, Iwamasa, who had worked for the actor for over two decades, pleaded guilty to injecting him with the lethal dose. Iwamasa now faces 15 years in prison. Two other people have also pleaded guilty. However, two main suspects, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and “Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha, have pleaded not guilty and are due to appear in court.
